The statement on the other side of this form shows the grades
awarded to you at the Advanced and/or the Ordinary level in each
subject for which you entered. This information is sent before the
issue of Certificates and the University reserves the right to correct
it. This document is not a Certificate and must not be regarded as
such.
Ordinary Level
At this level grades A, C and E are grades of pass in descending order
of merit reading from left to right, and Grades F and H, followed by
the word FAIL, denote failure.
There are no oral tests in the languages at this level.
Advanced Level
At this level grades A, B, C, D and E are grades of pass in descending
order of merit, reading from left to right, and grade F, followed by
the word FAIL, denotes failure. Grade O, followed by ORD, at
this level indicates a compensatory Ordinary level pass. The words
FAIL and ORD apply to the subject as a whole. An 'X' indicates
absence from the examination in a subject.
In Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Zoology two
grades are given. The first represents the grade given in the subject as
a whole, including the practical test; to the right of this appears the
grade given in the practical test only.
Where a candidate has entered for both Pure Mathematics and
Applied Mathematics but has not been awarded an Advanced level
pass, in both subjects, an alternative Advanced level pass in Mathe-
matics (Pure and Applied) may be given if the performance in
Papers 1 and 3 reaches the required standard.
There are no oral tests in the languages at this level except for
certain schools in West Africa. For candidates from these schools
there are two grades in French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
The first represents the result given in the subject as a whole including
the oral test. To the right of this appears the grade given in the oral
test only. The oral grades are A, B, C, D, E, O and F. Failure in the
oral test does not necessarily indicate failure in the subject as a whole.
